Benzema unable to get on the scoresheet
Benzema is a very important player for Real Madrid in attack and the French striker is struggling to get off the mark in La Liga. The footballer has gone 267 minutes without a goal.
Real Madrid face Levante this Sunday after beating Real Valladolid and they do so with several important players out. Benzema will be in the eleven, as is usual, to try and put an end to his goalscoring drought.
The striker has still not scored in La Liga 2020-21 and he is starting to be missed since his goals have got Madrid out of trouble several times since Cristiano Ronaldo's departure.
The truth is that, according to 'AS', Benzema had never gone so long without getting his first goal of the season in the league in the eleven seasons he has been at Real Madrid.
In 2017/18, the Frenchman did not score until matchday eighjt, but he got injured in the third match and went 247 minutes before scoring. He is currently on 267 minutes ahead of Sunday's fixture.
As Real are struggling to score and are missing players like Hazard, Benzema's role is even more important and the player knows that. The Frenchman got 27 and 30 goals in his last two seasons.
